“Landscape is a medium of ideas. We want men’s thoughts…….And so the various details in a landscape painting mean nothing to us if they do not express some mood of nature as felt by the artist…The true artist, in viewing the landscape, renders it upon his canvas as a living thing….”
- Robert Henri The Art Spirit
 

Encaustic is a painting medium with luminous color and a lush surface. Pigment and hot beeswax are applied to a surface. It is fused with heat between each layer or stroke of paint. All paintings are on a firm panel or paneled box.
